Certain researchers suggest that a teaching method which encapsulates collaboration and interaction would likely work well within the framework of Internet based distance education courses. In order to verify how interaction and collaboration work between students in distance education courses, we observed and researched two undergraduate university courses offered via the Internet. All communi...

The use of the Internet for course preparation is ill served by traditional, content-based search engines. This paper describes SourceFinder, a web search engine that locates text material based on linguistic characteristics, such as reading level. Combining SourceFinder with content-based searches may allow instructors more easily to identify material relevant for their courses. We present exa...

A likely feature of the Internet classroom is automated assessment of student exercises. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Grade Grinder, an Internet-based assessment service developed for use with logic-teaching courseware. We discuss the utility of this platform both as a pedagogical resource, and as a provider of data for research on student problem-solving. We ...

PURPOSE To create a multimedia internet-based ECG teaching tool, with the ability to rapidly incorporate new clinical cases.
